Gall Doubles Through Hiew in a Massive Confrontation
PokerNews was called over to a table with a big confrontation developing.
In a heads up pot with 2,000,000 chips already in the middle on a flop reading Q♥J♣8♦, Kelly Gall was first to act and did so by over-bet jamming his 2,730,000 chips into Graham Hiew.
Hiew entered the tank and spent a few minutes there, eventually deciding that he wasn't buying what Gall was selling and making the call to send the duo to a runout with Gall at risk.
Kelly Gall: A♠A♦
Graham Hiew: K♠Q♦
With 7,000,000 chips on the line and two cards to come, Gall needed to fade kings and queens, but when the turn came the K♦, it looked like Gall was headed for the exit.
Then, in a hand that became a roller coaster of emotion for both players, the 8♣ landed on the river and shifted the checkmark back to Gall, securing him a massive double and rocketing him up towards the top of the chip counts.
